Digital transformation creates new opportunities for development, but at the same time there are risks and threats to conventional economies. Therefore, the study of digital transformation is becoming particularly relevant. The purpose of this study was to reveal the essence of the term “digital transformation”, highlight its advantages and disadvantages, and analyse the process of digitalisation of the economy of Ukraine. During theoretical exploration, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: analysis, synthesis, observation, generalisation, classification. Theoretical assumptions were tested using analytical materials. Based on the analysis, conclusions were drawn, and practical recommendations were developed. In theoretical research, the differences between the terms “digitalisation” and “digitisation” were investigated. The main prerequisites for the spread of digital technologies are highlighted: the development of the physical infrastructure of internet access in the world, the growth of the number of internet users; the development of e-commerce; the development of the country’s IT industry; the improvement of the national e-government system. It was established that the main obstacles to the digital transformation of Ukrainian society are factors formed in the political, economic, technological, and psychological spheres. The dynamics of indices used to assess the spread of digital technologies is analysed: the e-Participation Index and the e-Governance Development Index. It was established that recently there has been a positive trend in them. The main advantages of implementing digital technologies were systematised. At the state level, the positive impact is manifested in improving the quality of life of the population; the level of productivity of public labour; reducing the share of hard work; preserving health and extending human life expectancy; simplifying access to information. The positive impact of digital technologies on the business environment is manifested in reducing the cost of selling products, searching and processing information, making transactions, launching and promoting goods to the market, the duration of the business cycle; inventing innovative technologies and switching to the production of innovative products. The advantages for individuals are to reduce the cost of internet services and transactions, simplify access to educational, entertainment and information resources. The main risks and threats created by the digital transformation of society are described: technological, economic, political, social, legal, and personal. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of identifying and neutralising risks and threats of digitalisation.","PeriodicalId":344341,"journal":{"name":"Social Legal Studios","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123079751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Legal scholars ignore the forms of influence of religion on law-making and law enforcement activities. Available research in this area is often fragmentary. The purpose of this study was to prove the relationship between religion and law based on modern legal understanding of the main principles, to clarify the role of religion in the legal sphere. The philosophical and methodological framework of this study involved the principle of pluralism in the choice of methodological approaches, methods, and techniques because they form the foundation of the scientific and cognitive process, ensure unity and purposefulness in the study of common features of religion and law in the law-making and law enforcement procedure, such as ritualism, tradition, authority, and universality. It is argued that in modern society, religious values, albeit losing their former meaning of the”sacred image” of the world, and even if Christian principles do not have a direct impact on the legal system, still play a considerable role in legal life because European legal culture was created under the influence of Christianity, a Christian view of the world. Modern European legal systems operate in a social system that has absorbed Christian religious values. This study is aimed at further development of the general theory of law, expanding the knowledge about the correlation between religion and law in the system of social regulation, improvement of legislation. The results obtained can be used in the field of law-making and law enforcement, for the preparation of textbooks, manuals, for lawyers, philosophers, sociologists, and all those who are not indifferent to the development of legal awareness.","PeriodicalId":344341,"journal":{"name":"Social Legal Studios","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128931081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the image of the public service of Ukraine that is based on whether its representatives perform their official duties, and in case of non-performance or improper performance, state coercion is applied to the public servant according to the procedure established by law. The regulated procedure of applying a particular type of legal liability makes up not only the conviction of a public servant, but also an incentive for other persons to properly perform their official duties and prevent illegal actions. The purpose of this study was to identify and solve problematic aspects of the responsibility of public service employees. To fulfil this purpose, scientific positions on understanding the concept of legal responsibility in two aspects, as positive and retrospective responsibility, are considered, and the definition of legal responsibility of a public servant is given. It was established that if a public servant violates the provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine, the following types of legal liability will be applied: administrative, criminal, civil, material, and disciplinary. Using system-structural and system-functional methods, a systematised analysis of the regulatory framework of each of these types of legal liability was performed; methods of comparison and grouping distinguished the material and civil liability of public servants in Ukraine and identified groups of relevant principles of public servant responsibility in administrative law and in compliance with labour discipline according to current regulations.

The main advantages and disadvantages of the main methods of assessing the level of competitiveness of an enterprise were highlighted. Examples of using SWOT and PEST analysis were presented. It was found that the level of competitiveness of the enterprise should be understood as such a state in which the quality of competitive advantages on the market allows demonstrating a high, medium, or low level of competition. It was also noted that the state of security substantially affects the competitiveness of the enterprise and without effective security mechanisms, high indicators will be problematic to achieve. It was found that competitiveness should be considered as such a level of functional and structural organisation of the enterprise, at which one can discuss the ability to ensure production and sale of products and services at a level sufficient to meet demand and ensure high positions in the market relative to competing producers.

Insufficient funding for the healthcare system, lack of rehabilitation programmes for persons with disabilities, lack of housing and appropriate equipment for the movement and full functioning of the life of persons with disabilities in Ukraine lead to the fact that such people are discriminated against in society. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the right to social protection of persons with disabilities in the context of compliance with international standards. Based on the monitoring study, available rehabilitation programmes, theoretical material, legislative analysis, and reports of international organisations, the authors came to relevant conclusions and made recommendations for the authorities, namely relevant ministries. The study discovered that the attitude towards people with disabilities is being transformed in the world, and their rights to a full-fledged, high-quality, non-discriminatory life in society are being consolidated. The need to reform national legislation and bring it in line with international standards was confirmed. It is proved that the main standards relate to the accessibility and adequacy of the right to social protection. The main elements of accessibility and adequacy of the right to social protection are highlighted. Key international regulations in the field of protection of the rights of persons with disabilities are analysed. The study investigated the term “discrimination for persons with disabilities”. It was established that the integration of persons with disabilities is possible if the problems with focusing attention on the category of persons with disabilities due to war are thoroughly studied. The practical value of this paper is to provide recommendations for relevant ministries, considering the monitoring study conducted by the authors in 2019-2020, which will contribute to improving the right to social protection as such.","PeriodicalId":344341,"journal":{"name":"Social Legal Studios","volume":"os-32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127775808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The peculiarity of the methodology of this study is explained by the multifaceted nature of the category of “public morality” and the existing need to study it, considering the approaches and developments of other legal sciences. Insufficient efficiency of public authorities in protecting public morals can lead to a decrease in the level of spiritual well-being of society. The aim of the article is to analyse the administrative and legal regulation in the field of protection of public morality. It is pointed out that public morality is a historically determined state of social relations that have formed as a result of conscious human activity. Public morality is correlated with public order and public safety as part and whole, where public morality is a component. Legislation on determining the purpose and functions of administrative and legal norms aimed at protecting public morals is considered. In the process of research the structural-functional analysis of the mechanism of interaction of law and morality is carried out, its elements as interacting parts of the system (legal norms, morality) are identified, functional connections and relations between them are established and theoretically substantiated. Subjective and objective factors that determine the measures of administrative and legal protection are considered. It is proposed to single out public morality as an independent object of administrative and legal protection. Protection of public morality is considered as an activity aimed at ensuring the conditions of moral well-being of society and the individual.
